Scary Tales #21

Charlton's Scary Tales #21 brings a jolt of woodland dread with a cover by Mike Zeck showing a terrified blonde girl in braids fleeing through a dark forest while a massive, roaring bear looms over her — a speech bubble crying out "Bobo!" adds an unsettling personal twist to the terror. Inside, the creative team of writer Mike Pellowski and artist Steve Ditko deliver "The Dead Will Live Again!," a title that promises exactly the kind of supernatural unease this series does so well. For fans of late-1970s/early-1980s horror anthologies, this 1980 Charlton gem is a satisfying read.
